Finally, don’t take it personally, says Lori Scherwin, founder of Strategize That. “Recognizing your anxiety may be high, not hearing from a company during the interview process doesn’t necessarily mean it’s about you,” she says. “Sometimes the role in play and or budget changes and they are no longer sure of their needs themselves. Sometimes it’s a function of poor coordination between a hiring manager and the HR rep.” And, she adds, it may be a blessing in disguise. “If a company can’t communicate with prospective employees, imagine what it would be like to work in a place where it is culturally acceptable to disrespect candidates’ time.” Just be grateful, she says, that you learned about them before it was too late.
